Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)

The shrieking "YOU!" ending "jellybelly" leads into this song which i basically have memorized. Interesting metaphors/analogies in here, like "i'm the face in your dreams of glass" and "my reflection / dirty mirror / is no connection to myself" and "emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness and cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me ". And this song has a mad rush of terror at the end punctuated by loneliness. (Edited)
One of their best songs
